The Diet Cartel

So many people have been asking me how I’m losing the weight. Some people who ask seem skeptical (usually the thin people) or leery as though I’m doing something I shouldn’t be to get results. When I simply say that I’m watching what I eat and exercising, they give me a (slightly higher pitched, that comes from the chest, knocking the head back a little) “huh” like they didn’t think it could be done that way.

I should tell them: On a weekly basis I pedal my butt to San Diego where I’ve joined the last 24 Hour Fitness club this side of the border. I meet up with my Mexican “syndicate” who smuggles in a Columbian under the guise of my “fitness” instructor. This is where the story get dangerous… we work out…if you know what I mean, but keep that on the DL. (Down Low)

Fellow heavies, who struggle themselves, ask me with wide eyes longing for the answer. And when I tell them my method, I get the defeated look and I can hear their subconscious yelling “nnnoooooooooooo”.

I’m with them on that. I wish there was an easier way.
